NUX NAP-5 Stageman Floor Acoustic Preamp Pedal

Description

The NUX NAP-5 Stageman Floor Acoustic Preamp is a versatile analog preamp that combines digital effects and a looper function. With its highly sensitive 3-band EQ, adjustable notch filter, and input gain control, this preamp offers exceptional headroom and delivers a natural sound.

Featuring built-in Chorus and Reverb effects, the Stageman Floor allows for precise control with just one knob. The chorus and reverb parameters are adjusted simultaneously, making it easy to find the perfect sound. Additionally, holding down the Chorus switch activates the freeze effect until released.

When playing on large stages, the Stageman Floor's notch filter can be used to eliminate unwanted feedback by cutting resonating frequencies. However, it's important to consider other factors that may contribute to feedback, such as guitar and speaker position, and the use of guitar mics. Ensuring proper setup and adjustment will help minimize the chance of signal feedback.

The pedal also includes gain and 3-band EQ controls, allowing for further sound customization based on amplifier/speaker characteristics, playing style, and guitar body type. To optimize signal processing, the preamp input can be adjusted for different pickup types, choosing between Piezo or Magnetic.

For added versatility, the Stageman Floor provides a built-in FX Loop, enabling the connection of external effects using a TRS cable. This feature makes it suitable for various acoustic instruments, including the violin, mandolin, banjo, and more.
